Seit er mit "Die Vermessung der Welt" einen fulminanten Bestseller landete, mit "Ruhm", "Tyll" und "Lichtspiel" erfolgreich nachlegte und sich immer wieder in kulturpolitische Debatten einmischte, gehört Daniel Kehlmann zu den wichtigsten literarischen Stimmen der zeitgenössischen Literatur. Für seine Romane, Essays und Theaterstücke hat der 1975 in München geborene, in Wien aufgewachsene und inzwischen in Berlin und New York lebende Autor unzählige Preise eingeheimst. Heute feiert der Autor seinen 50. Geburtstag. Grund genug für den Wiener Zsolnay Verlag, ins Archiv zu steigen und den Roman, mit dem Kehlmann 1997 debütierte, neu aufzulegen. Frank Dietschreit hat "Beerholms Vorstellung" noch einmal gelesen.

Busy is a great place to hide.” The comment greatly impacted me because I had a conversation in which someone had equated being busy to value and productivity. Efficiency is vital.

Today we bring you a story told live at the Flagstaff Festival of Science in September 2024. We're talking about making a connection from your personal life to what we study. We're also talking about being vulnerable. Because everyone will love you more. We promise. This is our second year collaborating with the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society (ECOSS) at Northern Arizona University. Two years ago, we were hired by Dr. Jane Marks and Dr. Bruce Hungate, two famous ecologists from ECOSS at Northern Arizona University. They heard our podcast and then started taking our classes which led to the idea that their students would benefit from taking our classes. So we've been doing online workshops and in-person workshops to help these scientists personalize their stories. The stories are amazing. I have learned so much about science through their stories in a way that brings me in. Well, you'll see. Today's story is by Megan Quinn, a master's degree student in the biology department at NAU. Megan's essay reveals her eating disorder and how she's been healing from that…much like burned trees heal from high intensity wild fires.

Diving into the works and wisdom of one of the world's great philosophers, Seneca-----The duty of a man is to be useful to his fellow-men; if possible, to be useful to many of them; failing this, to be useful to a few; failing this, to be useful to his neighbours, and, failing them, to himself: for when he helps others, he advances the general interests of mankind. - Seneca-----3:30 - The purpose of studying philosophy "[Philosophy]  moulds and constructs the soul; it orders our life, guides our conduct, shows us what we should do and what we should leave undone."6:50 - The usage of time It is a small part of life we really live. Indeed, all the rest is not life, but merely of time. People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.11:25- Self-made suffering 20:55- Find a catoSo choose yourself a Cato…Choose someone whose way of life as well as words…have won your approval. Be always pointing him out to yourself either as your guardian or as your model. There is a need, in my view, for someone as a standard against which our characters can measure themselves. 25:10 - On happinessWe have reached the heights if we know what it is that we find joy in and we have not placed our happiness in the control of the externals…Above all, my dear Lucilius, make this your business: learn how to feel joy.32:50 - On angerNo plague has cost the human race more dear: you will see slaughterings and poisonings, accusations and counter-accusations, sacking of cities, ruin of whole peoples, the persons of princes sold into slavery by auction, torches applied to roofs, and fires not merely confined within city-walls but making whole tracts of country glow with hostile flame.36:40 -Lessons/takeaways-----You can check out my book, website, and apparel below: WebsiteBook: Chasing Greatness: Timeless Stories on the Pursuit of Excellence  ApparelInstagram-----If you want to read more of Seneca's works, you can check out some books belowLetter from a StoicOn the Shortness of Life

Hurra, es ist wieder Dry January und halb Deutschland macht eine Trinkpause. Das ist ja erstmal nice, denn als radikale Abstinenzlerinnen erzählen wir es ja seit Jahren rauf und runter: Keinen Alkohol trinken ist total krass. Wenn vieltrinkende Autor:innen eine Alkoholpause machen, dann schreiben sie deswegen gerne Bücher und Essays darüber. Pünktlich zum diesjährigen Dry January ist wieder ein Buch erschienen, dass sich dem Thema Trinkpause anhand eines Selbstversuchs widmet: »Ein Mann, ein Jahr, kein Alkohol« von Felix Hutt. Wir haben es gelesen und reden darüber, was Hutts Pause kann und was sie nicht kann, was unsere eigenen Pausen uns gebracht haben, als wir noch nicht so radikal waren, wie wir es heute sind, und was an kollektiven Alkoholpausen eigentlich das Problem ist. Zum Beispiel, dass man das mühsame Gezerre um Verzicht und Versuchung mit Nüchternheit verwechselt. —»Ein Mann, ein Jahr, kein Alkohol« von Felix Hutt, erschienen bei Goldmann, 2024Unsere Episode über den Selbstversuch »30 Tage ohne Alkohol« von Carolin von der Groeben / Y-Kollektiv: Folge #115Buch »The Urge« von Carl Erik Fisher und Podcast:www.carlerikfisher.com—Hier findest du uns noch: www.sodaklub.comAbonniere den SodaKlub Newsletter oder werde Mitglied im SodaKlub.Abonniere Mias Newsletter »Romanzen und Finanzen« Buche ein kostenloses Erstgespräch bei MikaWenn du dich nicht binden willst, aber trotzdem gerne beitragen möchtest, kannst du uns auch über Paypal eine einmalige Spende schicken: hallo@sodaklub.comWir lieben unsere Arbeit und deine Mitgliedschaft ermöglicht uns, sie weiterhin zu machen.

"Beluga im Eis" – ein Hörstück aus der Arktis von Uwe Kullnick (Hördauer 10 Minuten) Es gab zahlreiche Vorkommnisse, Gefahren und Erlebnisse auf meinen viele Reisen. Menschen und Tiere begegneten mir in Afrika, Asien, USA, Kanada, Süd- und Mittelamerika, Arabien, Alaska, Japan und Europa oder der Arktis. Die vielen Geschichten zu erzählen, wird den Rest meines Lebens dauern und ich freue mich darauf. Hier ist eine Geschichte aus der Kälte. Ich erzähle sie nicht gern, ging sie doch leider nicht gut aus. Die Tiere: Belugas, weiße Wale, eingeschlossen an  einem Atemloch im Eis, zu weit weg vom offenen Wasser um es tauchend zu erreichen. Ein hungriger Eisbär Uwe Kullnick ist Naturwissenschaftler.  Neben seiner biologischen Forschung, arbeitete er in der strategischen Unternehmensleitung und war Senior Manager eines internationalen Konzerns und zuständig für 150 Länder. Seine akademischen Schwerpunkte als Dr. rer. nat. sind Biologie (Zoologie), Neurophysiologie und Sexualpsychologie. Manchmal ist er ein kompromissloser Biologist, wenn ihm jemand erzählen will, wie essenziell der Erhalt einer bestimmten Froschart ist, oder er ist analytisch bis zum Bersten seiner Diskussionspartner und ihm ist obendrein nichts Sexuelles zu fremd, um ihn noch staunen zu lassen. Heute ist er freier Autor und publiziert, Bücher, Hörbücher, Essays, Erzählungen, Kurzgeschichten, Podcasts. Als Gründer und Betreiber des Literatur Radio Hörbahn produzierte er in den vergangenen Jahren rund 1800 Sendungen und erreichte damit hunderttausende Hörer. Spezialeffekte: Jupp Stepprath, Hamburg.

Dann kam im Frühjahr des Jahres 2015 die Auszeichnung mit dem renommierten Literaturpreis der Leipziger Buchmesse für seinen Gedichtband „Regentonnenvariationen“. Diese außergewöhnliche Ehrung – erstmals für einen Lyriker – brachte für die Akademie große Freude. Bereits das Erstlingswerk dieses 1971 in Hamburg geborenen und in Berlin lebenden Lyrikers „Probebohrungen im Himmel“ (2001) ließ aufhorchen, und alle weiteren Gedichtbände – „Guerickes Sperling“ (2004), „Australien“ (2010), „Die Eulenhasser in den Hallenhäusern“ (2012) – sorgten beim Fachpublikum für Aufsehen. Eine Fülle von Stipendien belegen dies, beispielsweise das Stipendium der Deutschen Akademie Villa Massimo (2011) und zuletzt der Carl-Friedrich-von-Siemens-Stiftung (2014). Hinzu kommen hochkarätige Auszeichnungen wie der Kranichsteiner Literaturpreis (2011), der Eduard-Mörike-Preis (2014) und der Georg-Büchner-Preis (2017). Jan Wagner, der auch als Übersetzer englischsprachiger Lyrik und Verfasser zahlreicher Essays hervorgetreten ist, ist u.a.

Stephen Dunn, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet

Writers on Writing

I have a Christmas and Hanukah gift for you: my show with Stephen Dunn. This is one of my favorite shows and he was one of my favorite poets. He published something like 21 collections of poetry. The show you're about to hear from 2001, the first time he was a guest on the show. Writers on Writing was on the radio then. Podcasting wouldn't be along for four more years and it would be a number of years—I've lost track—before my cohost Marrie Stone joined us.   I first learned of Dunn back in the early 1980s. I was on a bus in San Francisco, looking up at the placards that lined the roof of the bus and there was a poem of his. It may have been his poem, “Contact,” which he reads during the following interview. Back then the City posted poetry on MUNI busses (I think it's doing that again). Dunn and I never met in person but he graced me and the show with his presence a half dozen times. Stephen Dunn was born on June 24, 1939, in Forest Hills, Queens. He graduated from Forest Hills High School in 1957. He earned a BA in history and English from Hofstra University, attended the New School Writing Workshops, and finished his MA in creative writing at Syracuse University. Dunn's books of poetry include the posthumous collection The Not Yet Fallen World (W. W. Norton, 2022); Pagan Virtues (W. W. Norton, 2019); Lines of Defense (W. W. Norton, 2014); Here and Now: Poems (W. W. Norton, 2011); What Goes On: Selected and New Poems 1995-2009 (W. W. Norton, 2009); Everything Else in the World (W. W. Norton, 2006); Local Visitations (W. W. Norton, 2003); Different Hours (W. W. Norton, 2000), winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry; Loosestrife (W. W. Norton, 1996), a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award; New and Selected Poems: 1974–1994(W. W. Norton, 1994); Landscape at the End of the Century (W. W. Norton, 1991); Between Angels (W. W. Norton, 1989); Local Time (William Morrow & Co., 1986), winner of the National Poetry Series; Not Dancing (Carnegie Mellon University Press, 1984); Work & Love (HarperCollins, 1981); A Circus of Needs (Carnegie Mellon University Press, 1978); Full of Lust and Good Usage (Carnegie Mellon University Press, 1976); and Looking For Holes In the Ceiling (University of Massachusetts Press, 1974). He is also the author of Walking Light: Memoirs and Essays on Poetry (BOA Editions, 2001), and Riffs & Reciprocities: Prose Pairs (W. W. Norton, 1998). About Dunn's work, the poet Billy Collins has written: The art lies in hiding the art, Horace tells us, and Stephen Dunn has proven himself a master of concealment. His honesty would not be so forceful were it not for his discrete formality; his poems would not be so strikingly naked were they not so carefully dressed. Dunn's other honors include the Academy Award for Literature, the James Wright Prize, and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. He has taught poetry and creative writing and held residencies at Wartburg College, Wichita State University, Columbia University, University of Washington, Syracuse University, Southwest Minnesota State College, Princeton University, and University of Michigan. Dunn has worked as a professional basketball player, an advertising copywriter, and an editor, as well as a professor of creative writing. Dunn was the distinguished professor of creative writing at Richard Stockton College and lived in Frostburg, Maryland with his wife, the writer Barbara Hurd. He passed away on June 25, 2021. He won a Pulitzer Prize for Different Hours, the focus for our talk on this day in 2001. We also talk about the poets' state of mind, writing poems during and after the moment, existing in the world of ambiguity, being a retrospective poet, how his focus has changed over the years, how he taught poetry, good training for a poet, hearing from readers, National Poetry Month, and more.

In this episode on Speaking Out of Place podcast Professor David Palumbo-Liu talks with Professor Persis Karim, co-producer and co-director of a new documentary film, The Dawn is Too Far: Stories of Iranian-American Life. She is joined by Roya Ahmadi, a student at Stanford who interned at the Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies at San Francisco State University and was part of the production team for the film. The film captures the lives of young Iranian-Americans who come to the San Francisco Bay Area around the time of the Iranian Revolution, and find themselves involved with, and helping to shape, a vibrant, international culture of politics and art. We talk about both the similarities and differences between those days and today—especially with regard to diasporic identity formation in different historical times, and the persistent need to resist racism and bigotry and act in solidarity with others.Persis Karim is the director of the Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies at San Francisco State University, where she also teaches in the Department of Humanities and Comparative and World Literature. Since 1999, she has been actively working to expand the field of Iranian Diaspora Studies, beginning with the first anthology of Iranian writing she co-edited, A World Between: Poems, Short Stories and Essays by Iranian-Americans. She is the editor of two other anthologies of Iranian diaspora literature: Let Me Tell You Where I've Been: New Writing by Women of the Iranian Diaspora, and Tremors: New Fiction by Iranian-American Writers. Before coming to San Francisco State, she was a professor of English & Comparative Literature at San Jose State where she was the founder and director of the Persian Studies program, and coordinator of the Middle East Studies Minor. She has published numerous articles about Iranian diaspora literature and culture for academic publications including Iranian Studies, Comparative Studies of South Asian, African and Middle East Studies (CSSAMES), and MELUS: Multi-Ethnic Literatures of the United States. “The Dawn is Too Far: Stories of Iranian-American Life,” is her first film project (co-directed and co-produced with Soumyaa Behrens). She received her Master's in Middle East Studies and her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from UT Austin.

Hello Patrons and general audience members! Welcome to a two-part reading of some Books That Burn essays by Robin. Thank you to Case Aiken, who receives a monthly Patron shoutout. These two essays are both about my thoughts on generative AI, but neither was long enough to be an episode on its own. As a reviewer of books, I'm very concerned with the news and societal reception of the resource-guzzling plagiarism machine, especially when Indie authors are among those most immediately harmed by having their work stolen and struggling to stand out in a sea of AI-generated slush flooding the ebook market. While I understand that there are useful versions of AI which aren't used to push out garbage no one actually wants to read, the existence of that particular firehose does need to be addressed. With that out of the way, please enjoy my reading of two essays about generative AI. ----- The Problem Is Not That You Want What Generative AI Promised, The Problem Is That They Lied About Whether It Could Deliver (01:14) [Link to Full Text] A Reflection on Path-Dependent Processes (07:26) [Link to Full Text]

In this episode of the Admittedly Podcast, host Thomas Caleel emphasizes the critical role of courage in crafting standout college application essays. Drawing from his experience reviewing thousands of essays, Thomas shares insights into why authentic, bold storytelling is essential for making an impression on admissions officers. He discusses how vulnerability, self-awareness, and owning your unique story can set applicants apart in a sea of polished but impersonal submissions. Key Takeaways: Courage Over Conformity: Avoid mimicking “successful essays” found online. Let your unique voice and personal experiences guide your storytelling. Own Your Story: Don't soft-sell your accomplishments. Showcase your successes and challenges with pride and authenticity, focusing on what drives you. Embrace Vulnerability: Essays should be personal and sometimes uncomfortable to write, as they offer a glimpse into your motivations, character, and growth. Be Fearlessly Honest: Share your lived experiences—even failures—and how they shaped you. This honesty resonates with admissions officers seeking genuine insight into applicants. Not Every School Will Say Yes—And That's Okay: A bold essay might not appeal to every institution, but it will connect with the schools that are the best fit for you. College essays are an opportunity to share your authentic self and connect with schools that align with your story. Be brave, bold, and unafraid to show your vulnerability.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Christopher Seitz about his wonderful new book on the theme of creation in the Psalter and in the book of Job. The book is titled, The Heights of the Hills Are His from Baylor University Press. Seitz discusses some of his motivations and goals for writing the book and also reflects on some of the main theological conclusions he develops. At any rate, I hope you enjoy this conversation about God's majesty, the biblical canon, the book of Job, and the Psalter.   Seitz's other recent works along these lines are The Elder Testament: Canon, Theology, Trinity (Baylor), Convergences: Canon and Catholicity (Baylor), and Essays on Prophecy and Canon: The Rise of a New Model of Interpretation (Mohr Siebeck).    Seitz has served as research professor at numerous institutions such as Yale University, University of St Andrews, and most recently at Wycliffe College.     This podcast is hosted by Ched Spellman (https://linktr.ee/chedspellman).

In November of 1988, 17 year old high school student Junko Furuta was cycling home from her part-time job when she was kicked off by a passing motorcyclist. Shortly thereafter, 18-year old teenage boy Hiroshi Miyano came across Furuta and helped her get back on her feet, even offering to walk her home as it was quite late at night. Unbeknownst to Furuta however, Miyano had actually orchestrated this seemingly chance encounter, and she would soon come to learn the true extent of his depravity.
